In this context, this book is truly timely because it analyses threadbare all the new imperatives for HRM.

Its case study approach enables theory to be abstracted from practice and instead of preaching which could so easily have been a trap for the authors to fall into, the book brings out useful concepts in a readable and well-structured manner. I am sure this tome will be a valuable addition to the body of knowledge on HRM and make a difference to better management of the human resource.
